Can a 44 year old woman wear a short skirt...

NO.1. Ask :
Can a 44 year old woman wear a short skirt...
...without looking like Liz McDonald?
I'm short with a big bust and not much of a waist. In a long skirt I look like I should be on castors.
I bought some boots yesterday, black suede ruched ones with a good heel, and I want to wear them with a skirt and black opaque tights.
What kind of skirt would you put me in?

Answer:
knee length-a short one will look out of proportion,and make you look top heavy
Answer:
I agree, knee length, or perhaps mid calf and swooshy(!0 with lots of material in to balance out your boobs :)
Answer:
Short, I'd say no - sorry.
Answer:
I'd say to go for a knee lenght a line. Defo not a short skirt.

    Softening denim
    I'm sure this has been done before but the search function typically came up with zero.
    How can I soften the denim in my jeans? They are skinny and keep digging into the backs of the knees causing those temporary scars.
    They are the Stella M HM ones if that helps. Well, ok, they aren't *new* but I've only just managed to squeeze into them :yescales: :o

    Answer:
    I may be imagining it but I'm sure you can get softener for your iron?! This would be a good way to soften the backs of the knees.
    Answer:
    Hey Madshopper!
    I usually just find that by wearing them they soften and mould to your shape - have you worn them many times?
    xx
    Answer:
    Well, I'm wearing them around the house first because the zip is a bit feisty (doesn't always do up without a fight :lol: ).
    It's Day 2 and the backs of my knees are hurting because I tend to cross my legs when I'm sat at my desk (it's a subconscious thing, I really can't help it).
    I'd love to speed up the process :(
    What's this iron softener thing? Is it like the opposite of starch spray?
    Thanks for the replies girls!

    Was really bored the other day made myself a doll- Can anyone tell me how to attach it to my posts?
    Thanks v much
    :o :o
    Answer:
    I had trouble doing mine. I had to do a screen grab of it, put it into paint, trim the edges off and save it as a jpeg. I then opened a photobucket.com account (really quick and easy), uploaded it onto there, then put the link to that on my signature on the control panel.
    Answer:
    hmmmmm thanks Lucy- it sounds so complicated I might have to ask my dad when I go over for dinner this weekend.
    I'm having trouble with my new fax machine!;)
    Answer:
    I might have made it sound worse than it actually is
    :lol:
    But that's how you do it. Only actually takes about 5-10 mins :)
    Answer:
    It's the end of my day at work and am having techno-fear!
    I will try tomorrow, hopefully you'll be around to help if I get stuck.
    Thanks again.
    P.S I have no idea what a screen grab is :o :o :o
    I think you explained it well, I'm just a bit clueless.
